Paris Basketball without three key players in Gran Canaria

The Paris Basketball team, third (8 wins, 4 losses) in pool B of the European Cup, will face the Spanish (10 wins, 2 losses) from the leader of their pool, Gran Canaria, this Wednesday on the 13th day of the regular season of the European Cups. . Weaver’s Axel Tupane (elbow), Kyle Allman Jr. (ankle) and the match without Juhann Begar (ankle). An important match for the Parisians, who hope to get closer to the first place, useful for the playoffs, but also contain the second and fourth Hapoel Tel Aviv and Turk Telekom Ankara (8 wins, 4 losses for the Israelis and Turks). The Greeks of Patras and Montenegrin Buducnost Podgorica (7 wins to 5 losses) follow a little behind in the standings. Thus, a victory in Las Palmas would give the Parisians the opportunity to do well in the standings. But with limited manpower, the job seems complicated.

The three best Paris scorers of the first game

Stopped for two weeks, Kyle Allman Jr. is sorely missing in Paris creations. The American guard is a constant offensive threat, and in the first game they defeated the Gran Canaria defense by a score of 89 to 81. He was the leading scorer with an impressive game with 30 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in 38 minutes. Axel Tupane, the second Paris scorer of the first game, did not appear due to an elbow injury. The French winger scored 18 points and 3 rebounds in 34 minutes. His basketball IQ and experience will be missed by his teammates. Juhann Begarin, the third leading scorer in Paris with 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 33 minutes in the first match, suffered an ankle sprain against Trente last Wednesday.

So Paris’ three most used players are forfeited in the first leg in Gran Canaria. On the other hand, Juhann Begarin, Kyle Allman Jr. and Axel Toupane, unlike Toupane, will return to the Betclic ELITE meeting in Monaco on Sunday at 17:00.
